Tottenham striker, Richarlison has come out to welcome Brazil’s decision to appoint a squad psychologist. He recently revealed that therapy changed his life, and fans have been reacting.

Richarlison added that footballers are under a lot of pressure to deliver weekly, so they need all the mental support they can get.
His words, “It’s very important for the national team to have a psychologist to help the players. Only we know the pressure we suffer, not just on the pitch but off it. I suffered more even outside. It’s important to have a psychologist. We know the prejudice that exists when someone says they are looking for help – I myself had it, but I don’t have it anymore. As a national team player with an active voice, I tell people to seek help because it saved my life. I was already at rock bottom.”
